Description

Nestled inconspicuously behind a grocery store, this Afghan restaurant has sparked a variety of opinions. While some patrons lamented encounters with unappetizing, stale meat and unsanitary conditions, others celebrated the establishment for its generous portions of authentic dishes like lamb shish kebab and delicious hummus. Friendly service complemented the experience for many, making it a memorable dive into Afghan cuisine. Despite its hidden, hole-in-the-wall charm, diners are encouraged to approach with caution, as the quality and cleanliness appear inconsistent. Ultimately, it may be a place for adventurous eaters seeking both excellent flavors and a bit of risk.

My wife and I love trying a variety of ethnic food around town. I can tell you that this place is one of the best in Columbia as far as authentic and good. It is a true hole in the wall type of place, but it is clean and has good service. The hummus is some of the best I have ever had, as well as the baba ganoush. Their traditional Afghan rice dish was amazing as well. If you are looking for something new to try this is the place for you. This is my first time trying food from this part of the world and I am glad I took a chance on it. This restaurant is located at the back of a grocery store, but don't let that fool you. The food is awesome.

This restaurant is a hidden gem. You definitely get your money's worth here. I ordered the appetizer sampler and it was a generous portion. The cashier who took my order was very friendly. I will definitely be returning!
